Davangere

Davangere, at the foothills of the Western Ghats around 260 km from Bangalore, grew into one of Karnataka’s major textile and cotton milling centers, earning it the nickname “Manchester of Karnataka.” Alongside its industrial identity, the district holds significant temples such as the Harihareshwara Temple in Harihar, dedicated jointly to Vishnu and Shiva, and the Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple in Shamanur.
